Olmo Ling Children’s Fund

Tempa Lama has created the Children’s Fund to support young people in Humla and Nepal who cannot obtain a necessary education because of lack of funds. Please partner with us to offer the precious gift of education to young people in need. Tempa Lama personally selects all children given individual needs and circumstances and willingness and ability to study hard.

Continuity of support is crucial in order to ensure that each child completes education as planned. Our current efforts focus on just two children in order to be able to ensure that we have sufficient funds to support both for several years as needed. With your generous support we will be able to add additional girls and boys to the Olmo Ling Children’s Fund in the near future. If you would like to commit to a recurring annual or monthly donation, please contact the Olmo Ling office at 412 904 1112 or bon@olmoling.org, or set up an automatic subscription through Paypal.

Thank you for your generosity!
